The Cornish Wheel

By: Molly Cutpurse

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A fragile young man. A woman out of time. A story that spirals into something far more disturbing.
1965. Jack Webber is eighteen, awkward, and ailing—physically from pneumonia, emotionally from years of abuse and neglect. Dispatched to the brooding Kelynek House on the far edge of Cornwall to recover, he finds himself immersed in silence, secrets, and the enigmatic presence of his uncle’s young wife, Elowen, his young wife, a passionless, yet mysterious native of the area.

But when Jack stumbles upon a reclusive children’s author named Jacqueline—living alone in a cliffside cottage and, impossibly, in the year 1946—he begins to experience a connection unlike any other.

Yet as the boundaries between past and present blur, so too do the lines between love and obsession, truth and madness. Jack’s journey is not merely through time—it’s into the darkest recesses of his own psyche. For what Jack ultimately uncovers is immeasurably far more bizarre, abnormal and disturbing.

From Molly Cutpurse, author of Dark Man, comes a twisted tale of identity, loss, and a deeply abnormal love that defies explanation.
